Abstract:

The focus of the conference is recent progress in homotopy theory related
to string theory, particularly elliptic cohomology and the topology of
loop spaces. Along the way we will celebrate the influence of Jack Morava,
on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Funding

The organizers have applied to the US National Science Foundation for
funds to support travel to this conference. Please note that as funds
are limited, priority will be given to recent, US-based PhD's and graduate
students. Minority and female candidates are particularly encouraged to
apply. (Please note: airfare must be on a US carrier in order to be reimbursed.)
